After the run, there will be four special talks, for all participants:

3) Nepali conservationist Sagar Dahal will talk on the diversity of small wild cats in Nepal.

4) SCAR Researchers Ashan Thudugala and Anya Ratnayaka will conduct a field workshop on camera trapping, and small cat tracking in the wild.

The event will be held at the Diyasaru Park, and tickets can be purchased online – https://scar.lk/walk – or bought at the starting line. Each ticket comes with a free t-shirt of your favourite small wild cat , and will give you access to all lectures and field sessions.

So come walk, run or prowl, and support the small wild cats of Sri Lanka!
